‘Difficult To Place’ Young Person Or Adult?

By admin_ka No CommentsPosted in BlogTags: , , , ,

Local authorities are often dealing with young people or adults displaying challenging behaviour, who are then labelled as ‘Difficult to Place’. In short, the person would be displaying severe challenging or complex behaviours, thus making it harder to find care/support providers who are willing, or able, to manage them.

Stepping Out has built their reputation around their willingness to accept, manage and support service users who display all kinds of extreme challenging behaviour. We have produced positive outcomes for those with mental health issues, challenging behaviour and those with MAPPA involvement.

Stepping Out are the solution for ‘Difficult to place’ service users.

MAPPA Cases

By admin_ka No CommentsPosted in BlogTags: , , , , ,

Stepping Out are experienced in managing high level MAPPA cases, and those displaying sexually harmful, or sexualised behaviours.

MAPPA stands for: Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements. There are different categories and levels of MAPPA classification.

MAPPA Categories:

  • Category 1: Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs),
  • Category 2: All offenders who have received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more in prison for a sexual and/or violent offence. Also held under probation supervision.
  • Category 3: Anyone else who poses a, “risk of serious harm to the public” and who has received a conviction and whose risk would be better managed in a multi-agency setting.

MAPPA Levels:

  • Level 1: Represents the normal inter-agency management of the offender in the community by one agency, with some liaison.
  • Level 2: Means that the Multi Agency Public Protection meetings (MAPPs) will be held where the offender’s management will be discussed between various parties involved in their case.
  • Level 3: Essentially the same as Level Two, except that senior management representatives will attend the MAPPs and greater resources are expected to be used in the management of the offender.

Stepping Out are well practised in all levels and categories of MAPPA, having managed numerous cases in the past. For more information on how we can help, call 0208 34 7217 or emil us at info@stepping-out.org
